Root Galaxy Nexus On Android 4.0.2 ICS With CF-Root [Download]

The beginners rooting solution for the Galaxy Nexus is here! Chainfire has has just released the first CF-Root kernel for the Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.0.2 (ICL53F) which is perfect for users wanting to root their device with no hassle at all and want to keep the phone as close to stock as possible. Contrary to previous versions of CF-Root for various devices, CF-Root for the Galaxy Nexus does not contain the ClockworkMod recovery due to kernel and recovery being separate partitions on the device. This means you don’t need to flash a recovery with your kernel.

The kernel is fully stock and taken from the original firmware, with the following added:

Superuser v3.

Busybox v1.19.

Custom boot / init scripts.

Insecure.

The kernel is available for the GSM and LTE versions of the Galaxy Nexus.
